Tri-lingual Windows system on the cards

Our Bureau

Hyderabad , Jan. 23

THE Managing Director of Microsoft Corporation India, Ms Neelam Dhawan, announced plans to launch a range of products that cover different segments of users.

After its decision to bring in a starter edition of Windows that can be bundled with entry-segment users, the company is set to launch a multi-lingual Windows operating system in March.

To be offered in a three-language interface, the Starter edition will later be available in nine languages. This means that a user has to boot the system and opt for a language. The edition is targeted at low-cost PC users and is meant to tackle piracy.

In June, Microsoft expects to launch its new Windows version Vista, which is considered its biggest offering in 10 years and Office 12 (yet to be named). Office 12 will serve as a platform for integrating with other services.
